Driver Returns To Scene Of Fatal Crash Involving Pedestrian: Police

FAIR OAKS, VA — The driver of a vehicle that struck and killed a man Tuesday morning on the Fairfax County Parkway returned to the scene of crash, while police were conducting their investigation, according to authorities.

Around 9:45 a.m., a Fair Oaks-area resident reported seeing what appeared to be a deceased person in the grassy median of the parkway about a half-mile north of the Rugby Road intersection, according to Capt. Jesse Katzman of FCPD's public information office.

Units from Fairfax County Fire and Rescue were first on the scene and confirmed that there was a deceased man in the median, Katzman told reporters during a news conference on Tuesday morning.
